PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:Considering the whole manufacture process, pazo is extremely easy to produce. Using only stamping skill makes its very high yield rate and easy to change different material like metal, paper or even wood. We use food grade PP as its basic material. Make it safe for children and pet. Furthermore, pazo could be even cost down by making injection mold and keeping the same quality for extremely high quantity needs.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:Culture is an influence to bring your lifestyle, craft skill or even eating habit to globe and educational toys are the foundation. Nowadays, most of east traditional toys are still keeping the function and image like a thousand years before. Pazo is designed for the issue. We transform tenon skills and bamboo weaving skills into our system of each brick puzzle. It naturally creates the Oriental aesthetics style for our culture heritage and promotion.

CHALLENGE: As a brick toy, we want to make the less piece to make the more variation so the most of challenge would be the process of simplify. pazo has only two kinds of type to create millions of assemble model. And it could make the practical use like a shootable slingshot, a kickable ball and so on. So we have to make it durable meanwhile keep the bargaing price and the structure should be easy to use for small children.
